The weekly brief, as delivered.
Not a slide about the product. The product. Each week, a thousand public items distill to one signal read: the number, what is driving it, and what to watch next.
Every brief opens on the number.
One score on the 0 to 5 scale, the band it sits in, the run date, and the coverage net behind it: sources, organizations, and named actors screened that week.
The verdict, in plain language.
What carried the week, what changed underneath it, and a forward watch naming exactly which events would move the score next week.
Every event, dated and sourced.
The full reporting window, each event categorized and scored with the source on the line. Dot color is the reported band, so escalation reads at a glance.
Five indicators, each with its own read.
Every indicator carries its own number and a citation on every finding. This one tracks whether opposition capacity is building or eroding.
Who is on record, and what they carry.
The roster, tiered by credential, from litigation counsel to anonymous commenters, with prior-win records tracked.
Counts from the production run shown above. Every signal that survives screening carries an outlet, a date, and a URL.
In the run shown, Sentinel put the county's new pretrial date and the opposition's stalled fundraising on the page in a week when local media printed nothing at all.
